	Using your heritage study Your heritage study report can be circulated to key community groups, relevant agencies or it can be sent to the media to promote the study findings. The report can also be submitted to libraries, government departments and research institutes so that interested people can refer to it in the future. You can use the findings of your study in a number of ways. You may want to: prepare a pamphlet, book, video, display or newspaper story about your heritage place use it as a basic source of information for a management plan for the place use the findings to nominate places for a heritage register.   Example - how Sunbury used its study Sunbury: The Unwritten Story As one of the results of an Aboriginal archaeological study in the Sunbury area, an eight-page brochure was produced describing the story of the area's Aboriginal people. The study was conducted by a consultant with a steering committee of representatives from the Wurundjeri Aboriginal community, Hume City Council and Aboriginal Affairs Victoria. The brochure - Sunbury: The Unwritten Story - describes the types of stone artefact concentrations, scarred trees, stone quarries and earth rings found locally, and the reasons why these types of places are significant. It is distributed to the public through council offices, libraries and tourist information centres. A report on the project was also published. You should consider which information in your report needs to be kept confidential or may require restricted access. Examples of restricted information might include the location of rare species, the location of an unsafe mine shaft or the location of a spiritually important Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander site. Consider whether drawing attention to a heritage place could increase its risk of damage. It is also necessary to check that all individual property owners or Indigenous custodians whose properties have been considered in the study are aware of the study, and that they agree to publicly announce the results. You will also need to have their agreement on how information is collected, stored and accessed. .....
